Subject: a massive work
Subject: a massive work
Hultsch's edition of Pappus, The Collection, is 3 volumes. Volume 1 covers books 2 through 5. Volume 2 covers books 6 and 7. Volume 3 covers book 8
...
plus some other material (including a late anonymous commentary). Book 1 and the first half of book 2 of The Collection are lost. The end of book 8 is lost in Greek, although since Hultsch it has been discovered in an Arabic translation. This work is an ancient equivalent of the modern practice of publishing 'Collected Papers'. The books are not really related, and one can read one without having read the prior books. My favorites are book 7 (on the 'Place of Analysis') and book 8 (on mechanical devices). For those who do not read Greek, I am told that ver Eecke published a French translation, in 2 volumes, in 1933. I have not seen it, so I am ignorant of its qualities. Alexander Jones published a Greek text, English translation, and notes on book 7 in 1986. Hultsch's edition is a difficult book to find in hard copy in libraries, and it is good that Internet Archive has a digital version. Several research libraries have an electronic version now, probably the same as this one.
